Cubs sign righthanded reliever Anthony Bass

You’re probably waiting for another Yu Darvish update this morning, but I’ve got something else, because there really isn’t any new Yu news at this time.

Anthony Bass was once a pretty good prospect in the San Diego Padres farm system after being their fifth-round pick in 2008 (interestingly, Justin Wilson and Alex Avila were also selected in that round). As is the case for many pitchers, injuries ruined what might have been a decent career. Shoulder troubles put him on the DL frequently, and after the 2015 season he was traded by the Rangers to the Mariners for Leonys Martin.
